“…Social competence replaces interactions with the patient, which are based on fear of disease and its consequences (Femiak & Czechowski, 2022;Rottermund et al, 2013). The development of social skills is an important stage of education, preparing students for clinicals.…”

“…They can be conducted using both online and offline methods, but they always aim to develop communication skills (Femiak & Czechowski, 2022;Kuk et al, 2015;Minney et al, 2019). Research confirms that active methods, such as simulating conversations with patients, modelling correct behavior and providing feedback, along with noticing areas with knowledge deficits and fostering the development of high levels of trust, communication competence, confidence and creativity (Elliott et al, 2015;Femiak & Czechowski, 2022;Kuk et al, 2015;Riste et al, 2018Ytreberg et al, 2014. Furthermore, they develop self-awareness, self-reflection and self-observation (Delany et al, 2009;Kuk et al, 2015;Pades-Jiménez et al, 2021).…”

“…In the training of physiotherapists, it is advisable to develop interpersonal skills during dedicated classes. This will help prepare for participation in clinical placements, so that during placement students can focus on the medical aspect of their relationship with the patient (Femiak et al, 2022;Gribble et al, 2017;Unger et al, 2014;Ytreberg et al, 2014).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to answer the questions: 1) will the use of active methods in teaching workshops lead to an increase in indices of social competence in students? 2) do workshops conducted with active methods affect the development of social competence of women and men to the same extent? Methods: A pedagogical experiment with 140 first-year students (age: 18-26 years, with a mean age of 20.7 (SD 0.96) of the Faculty of Rehabilitation. The experimental group practised social skills using active methods. The control group studied the same content without active methods – based on text reading and analysis. We used the psychometric Social Competence Test, which has 3 parts: assertiveness, intimacy, and social exposure, and an overall index on a scale of 1 to 4. Result: Participation in the classes resulted in an increase in the subjects’ indices of competence for assertiveness (η2= 0.13), intimacy (η2=0.07), social exposure (η2=0.06), and overall index (η2=0.12). Changes in indices of the competencies studied in the experimental and control groups were at a similar level, with a small effect (η2=0.01). There was a small interaction effect for gender and workshop participation (η2=0.01). Conclusion: Active methods used in teaching classes did not result in an increase in social competence indices in first-year physiotherapy students. The gender of the respondents was irrelevant to the effectiveness of the development of social skills in workshop classes; therefore, the content and methods of working with women and men should be the same.
